Resident Evil: 8 Memorable Characters You'll Never See Again
5. Ark Thompson
Even as someone who has a soft spot for this runt of the early Resi litter, it’s not hard to see why Capcom hasn’t acknowledged the existence of Resident Evil Survivor in about 20 years.
The series’ first foray into the first person perspective is short, sluggish and not all that much to look at either. If anything, it’s most memorable for its voice acting which arguably outpaces the original game when it comes to balls-out absurd line delivery.
There isn’t a single normal sounding character across the entire spectrum of Resident Evil Survivor and that extends to the game’s protagonist Ark Thompson.
Our would-be hero spends most of the game suffering from amnesia, but it’s hard to root for his pursuit of the truth when it sounds less like amnesia and more likely he’s suffering from severe narcolepsy.
Ark drops one single line that connects him to the rest of the Resident Evil universe, claiming to be an associate of Leon S. Kennedy’s but considering that Leon has never mentioned the guy we wonder if the poor bloke just thinks they’re friends because he said “hi” to him once in the corridor.
